The Ivy Staff of Blackstone High School Presents .. . eA Editor: See ake us ae ree Libba Rand Assistant.bdgitot ae Nancy Hamlett Business Manager .................... Empsy Williams Foreword 1966 will always stand out in the history of Blackstone High School as a year of many chal- lenges to students and faculty alike—a year in which everyone, working together, made his con- tribution toward meeting the requirements of the thorough evaluation. The 1966 Ivy staff has tried to picture for you many of the aspects that make this year distinct as well as traditional of life at BHS. To the senior the book represents a culmination of five years of hard work and fun; to the eighth grader it is more a preview of what is to come; but to everyone it means something. It is the sincere hope of the staff that while you evaluate your part of life at BHS, you will also re- call with fondness those who, while preparing to leave the Halls of Ivy, were also making their footprints upon the sands of time. 2—Foreword Contents FAGUiIEVeeme ue: Goh eee. 3 @laSSESmme tse reno feiss.

WEATHERFORD Dedication Varied are the remarks of students leaving Room 1: “What about the extra problem “— | didn’t finish.”—What a test!’ But inside that room one finds a dedicated and conscientious math teacher who takes these and other chid- ings good-naturedly. The work she assigns often seems unduly hard, but we realize the value of her rigid preparation when we hear college math students return to praise her for the excellent background they received at BHS. This busy math teacher, as an active sponsor of the Tri-Hi-Y, strives incessantly to instill the basic goals of her club in its members. She serves as a lively and amiable sponsor and chaperone to the Model General Assembly delega tion each year. Stressing character, leadership, scholarship, and service, she works faithfully to make the National Honor Society an active as well as an honorary organization in our school. For these reasons and also because of her loyal interest in the students, their problems and en- deavors, we dedicate with pride the 1966 Ivy to our teacher and friend, Mrs. Anna D. Weatherford. a BHS Evaluates Its Administration Although the week of the evaluation visit did not ar- rive until April, months before, the administration began its preparations for this important e vent. Each teacher de- voted much time to the classes and clubs he sponsored, carefully weighing the good and bad points of each. Keep- ing these in mind, he then tackled the formidable job of compiling evaluation reports. Each Monday the library was the scene of a faculty meeting, at which the unending prob- lems of the many aspects of the program arose. Here, un- der the guidance of Mr. Thweatt, the principal, these dif- ficulties were met and overcome. Besides working among themselves, the teachers also contributed generously of their time to help the students ready themselves for evaluation. Despite the many de- mands made on the teachers’ valuable time for organiz- ing programs and presenting slides about the school and community, they were always ready to help the students with their part. When the long awaited week finally arrived, BHS pre- sented the result of her diligent preparations: the product made possible only by the dedication of our administra- tion.

Such moments of relaxation became more infrequent as teachers rushed to meet the hectic schedule imposed on them by evaluation. Mr. Thweatt reviews a report submitted to him by one of the evaluation committees. As head of the school’s evaluation program, much of the responsibility rests on his shoulders. After thoroughly going over each of the reports, he must point out the good and bad parts and suggest how they might be made better. Administration—7 Office Gains Second Secretary MRS.

WEATHERFORD B.S., William and Mary Teaches Mathematics BHS Evaluates Its Classes Blackstone High School has a good record of its grad- uates. It has prepared them well to go into the world and work for themselves or to go on to higher education. What- ever the future has held for its students, BHS has not failed them in any way. School is the place for learning and the faculty and sur- roundings make learning a pleasure as well as a ready challenge. Each person is singled out as an individual in his own right. BHS‘ers are offered an opportunity to prepare for the business world, a college education, farm work, or home- making. Its curriculum of courses is wide and varied. The teachers in each department are well qualified and present each subject to its fullest. The standards of learning and the respect for education are high. This is a tradition that BHS students are proud to keep alive. Upon completing his high school career, each graduate feels a keen sense of accomplishment and an awareness that his education will serve him well. Math and Science Challenge BHS Students Mr. Thomas explains a difficult physics principle to Rick French and Ray Chamberlain. 12—Academics Though the math and science courses at BHS cause many headaches for those ambitious stu- dents who undertake them, they prepare them well for the future which awaits them. Some math and some science is a prerequisite for graduation, but the majority of students who take the courses are the college-bound ones. In the math department, preliminary courses and introduction courses to algebra are offered as well as the more advanced courses of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Equipped with two science laboratories, BHS is able to offer a very thorough science curriculum. In addition to general science, students are able to take biology, chemistry, and physics. Mrs. Anna D. Weatherford and Mrs. Dorothy Tunstall teach all math courses, while Mr. Robert Thomas and Mrs. Olivia Harrison head the sci- ence department. Constructions made by the geometry class brightens up Room One at Christmas-time. French Verbs and Latin Nouns Mean Work Blackstone High School offers two years of Latin. First-year Latin is usually undertaken by freshmen, while sophomores continue with Caesar in Latin Il. Both Mrs. Izelle Hutcherson and Mrs. Virginia Jordan teach classes in Latin. The French Department consists of three years taught by Mrs. Izell Hutcherson. The students receive a French newspaper, La Jeunesse. With the use of the tape-recorder, much time is spent on pronunciation. Some parallel reading and re- ports are required, which help the students un- derstand the French people better. Also some of the students started corresponding with na- tive French teen-agers. College-bound students leaving BHS find that they have had an excellent background in foreign languages and are able to continue their studies with no difficulty. Mrs. Hutcherson watches as Shelley Dellaripa and Linda Forrester put sen- tences on the board in French II. Joe Manson and Jim Crinkley find that the window in French III class is the best place to study. Mary K. Lampkin uses the tape recorder to improve her pronunciation in French Ill while Joe Manson and Jim Crinkley look on. Academics—13 History and English Make Good Citizens Blackstone has an extremely strong English department. Mr. Max Clayton teaches eighth grade English, while Mrs. Kathleen Hamlett, Mrs. Virginia Jordan, and Miss Martha Hammock teach the other classes. Grammar is taken during the first semester and literature is taken up during the second semester. Students make an _ exclusive study of American literature their junior year and English literature their senior year. Civics and world geography are taught by Mrs. Crowder. Mrs. Hamlett teaches world history. United States history, which is taken by all jun- iors, and government, which is taken by all sen- iors, are both taught by Mrs. Cobbs. Current events is a large portion of both classes. All grad- uates of BHS must take history and government in order to graduate. The government students mus? prepare bills and hold their own session of the General Assembly. They must also write a term paper on a matter concerned with government or a current world situation. A full six-week course in Communism is also a part of this class. Mrs. Crowder teaches eighth graders civics.

Many commercial classes are offered for those students interested in entering the world of busi- ness. Typing | and Typing II, shorthand, general business, and bookkee ping are taught by Mrs. Nell Irby and Mrs. Cornelia DeBusk. Eighth graders, freshmen, and sophomores are required to take physical education for three years. With weather permitting, they enjoy such outdoor sports as ring tennis, volleyball, baseball, football, and soccer. Drivers’ education is offered to all interested students.

BHS Evaluates Its Students Though the burden of evaluation rested mainly upon the faculty, students, too, offered their helping hands. One committee spent the summer preparing slides depicting life, worship, industry, and recreation in the community. But these few were not the only ones involved; evalua- tion affected everyone at BHS. All shared a spirit that not only magnified their pride in the school and its achieve- ments but also encouraged its improvement. It was a spirit that compelled each student to look deeply and objectively within himself and within his school. Each evaluated BHS —its courses, its activities, its goals. Likewise, each applied this to his own life, seeking his own course, his own ac- tivities, his own goals. From the eighth grader who always finds himself study- ing this new complex life of different classes, different teachers, double lunch shifts, assemblies, and pep rallies, to the senior who always shoulders the responsibility of leading the school—all looked more intensely than ever before at their places at BHS and served in them well.

Class of ’66 Class Flower: Golden Sceptre Rose Class Colors: Emerald Green and Gold Class Motto: “To look up and not down, to look forward and not backward, to look out and not in, and to lend a hand.” The class of ‘66 has contributed much to BHS through its outstanding students, its work in school government, sports, and in all other phases of | school life. Entering the eighth grade, these students met new types of classes, new teachers, Rat Day, and Homecoming. The ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades brought the magazine campaigns, school dances, and other money-making projects to prepare for their Junior- Senior. In their junior year came the excitement 18—Classes of class rings, the tension-filled days of term papers, the beauty contest, and the fun of creating and presenting the prom, “The King and I.” With their senior year has come many more new experiences. College boards and ¢ollege ap- plications have made each aware of the nearness of graduation and of the new adventures that lie ahead. Each will leave the “Halls of Ivy” some- what more mature, educated, and experienced— ready to face a new tomorrow.

TU ie in Ct : The purpose of clubs in Blackstone High School is to en- rich the students ability to accept responsibility and to work toward a common goal. This year each club not only had to meet its own standards of perfection but also those en- countered during an evaluation year. Instituted by the S.C.A. Council, a Club of the Year award encouraged each club to work harder. In fulfilling their aims which were set early in September, the clubs accomplished more than ever before—each trying to outdo the other. Such competition made Blackstone High School a bustling community within itself. Among the clubs themselves, many novel ideas for proj- ects were brought forth and discussed. To meet the chal- lenges of the evaluation committee, the projects which would be most helpful to the school were undertaken. These projects were handled with deft efficiency and met the standards set for them. A special thanks should be given to the clubs and to their sponsors for their work in a job well done.

Magazine Campaign Boosts Treasury The magazine campaign is always a big money- making project of the SCA, enriching the treasuries of the individual classes as well. As usual, all clubs were chartered by the coun- cil after a review of their objectives. Likewise, the council formulated its own objectives and present- ed them to the student body for adoption. Thirteén enthusiastic delegates and their advisor attended the Farmville District SCA meeting in Cum- berland on November 6, where they participated SCA OFFICERS: First Row—Jim Crinkley, President; Branch Wat- kins, Vice-president; Mrs. Olivia Harrison, Sponsor; Debbie Carson, Recording Secretary; Mary S.

Recognizes Honor Students Membership in the Wrigglesworth Chapter of the National Honor Society is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a student at BHS. The members are chosen on the basis of their scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Throughout the year the members perform many useful services. One of their main duties is in recognizing the students making the Honor Roll. Each six weeks they publish a list of students making all A’s and B’s in the Ram’s Horn. They also make identification cards for each student to wear who made the Honor Roll. Those students making all A’s are further recognized by having a star by their names. During both mid-term and final exams, the Front Row—Mrs. Anna Weatherford, Sponsor; Linda Forrester, President; Branch Watkins, Vice-president; Nancy Hamlett, Secretary—SCA Representative; Libba Rand, Treasurer. Second 48—Clubs members place posters bearing the honor code in each classroom. It is also their job to change the quotation board in the hall. Each of these quota- tions brings some new and challenging idea to the students. Another of the club’s duties is to distribute identification cards to students to show before entering any school-sponsored activity. Each spring juniors and seniors, meeting the high standards, are taken into the National Honor Society. The tapping ceremony is one of the most impressive assemblies of the school year. The National Honor Society fulfilled its purpose of advancing high ideals and furthering the scho- lastic standards. Row—Joe Manson, Mary Katherine Lampkin, Ellen Davis, Mary Sue Hawkes. Quill Scroll Compiles Book List First Row—Mrs. Tunstall, Sponsor; (not pictured—Shelley Del- laripa, President) Mary K. Lampkin, Vice-president; Nancy Hamlett, Secretary-Treasurer; Joe Manson, SCA Representative. The Quill and Scroll is a national organization which honors journalists. To qualify for member- ship, a student must have done outstanding work on one of the school’s publications, the Ivy or the Ram’s Horn. He also must have maintained a high scholastic average and must have reached his jun- ior year in high school. One of the club’s main activities this year was to compile a book list which would not only aid the college-bound student in the books he should be familiar with, but also would list books helpful for book reports and reports that must be given in each of the various classes. Each member wrote to two well-known colleges in the East and requested their book list. In the fall of this year, a committee compiled these lists into one which contained all of the necessary ma- terial. These lists were made available for any student in the Library. Second Row—Mary Sue Hawke s, Linda Forrester, Sarah Jane Borum, Libba Rand, Ellen Davis, Susan Crawley. Another of the club’s objectives was to assemble a booklet of the best creative writing of the stu- dents at Blackstone High School. This. booklet, which has been published in years past, has been quite successful in that it gave students the op- portunity to show their talents in prose and poems as well as short stories and themes. In their spare time members of the Quill and Scroll are always very busy working on either of the two publications, but never too busy to help out a member of the faculty or someone in the community with any task that might involve pen- manship or production. Members of both staffs attend the regional jour- nalism convention, SIPA, each spring and attend lectures and clasess to prepare them for their future tasks. This club has set high goals and thus kept our school on the road to even higher journal- istic achievement. Clubs—49 History Club Publishes County History First Row—Branch Watkins, President; David Pence, Vice-presi- dent; Janie Inge, Secretary-Treasurer; Debbie Carson, SCA Rep- resentative, Mrs. Virginia F.

The members have worked especially hard to learn more about the history of Virginia and Nottoway County. The main project this year was to compile infor- mation on Nottoway County in book form. Copies of this book were bought by the town to be made available to people ysiting in Blackstone, in hopes that they would be encouraged to return again. Each member of the History Club wrote one sec- tion of the book. Much of the research work came from using old records and deeds at the courthouse 50—Clubs Linda Forrester, Nancy Hamlett, Susan Crawley. Third Row— Jim Crinkley, Joe Manson, Stefan Crane, Charles Cummins. to obtain the needed information. Included in the finished product was the history of Nottoway Coun- ty, beginning with the first Indians, through the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, up to the present time. To provide some of the necessary funds for the printing of their book, members of the History Club had a successful bake sale among other money-making projects. In the spring the club presented an effective assembly program which included the tapping of new members. Thespians Sponsor Play Festival First Row—Nancy Hamlett, President; Beth Orange, Vice-presi- dent; Ellen Davis, Secretary-Treasurer; Libba Rand, SCA Rep- “Act well your part; there all the honor lies” is the motto of Troupe 891 of the National Thes- pian Society. Membership was based on a merit system this year—merits earned through outstand- ing work in backstage as well as actual perform- ance. Working closely with the Dramatics Club, which was divided into three groups with the Thespians being the honorary branch, the members held tryouts for new members eager to belong as ap- prentices of the Dramatics Club. The Thespians upheld their standards as laudable actors, actresses, and hard workers by sponsoring the district One-Act Play Festival, in which they also participated. In an effort to improve the over-all drama pro- gram at BHS, the Thespians held a special work- shop in which they demonstrated pantomime, movement, and dialogue for the Dramatics Club. resentative. Second Row—Joe Manson, Stephany Tatman, Linda Forrester, Jim Crinkley, Clyde Crusenberry, Curtis Coleburn. Jointly, the two groups presented two other plays during the year which proved to be very successful. Working with the Dramatics class last year and the Speech class this year, Mrs. Jordan, sponsor, instilled a thorough understanding of the theater. Climaxing a year of hard work, invitations were extended to those who had received the required number of points through working backstage with lighting, costuming, make-up, and actual acting. As always, the Thespians continued to main- tain excellence in drama, working hard at each of their undertakings. The society and all that it rep- resents keeps our school on the road to superior dramatic achievement. BHS Thespians have lived up to their motto off- stage as well as on this year and they may be rightly proud of their recognition.

The hectic job of putting out the 1965 Ivy be- gan early this summer with the choosing of new members, reorganization of the staff, selling of ads by the business manager, and switching to a new publishing company. With the opening of school, the staff photog- raphers began to scour the entire school trying to capture the students in their usual tasks along with some unusual ones, too. Members began to collect their thoughts, write copy, and have the pictures, necessary for their section, taken. To help finance this more-expensive yearbook, staff members promoted annual sales before Christ- mas as well as selling to patrons, friends, and relatives. As each of the three deadlines was met, this year’s Ivy began to take shape. With high hopes and much effort put behind it, the completed Ivy entered SIPA to be judged next year. Ram’s Horn Staff Covers All B.H.S. News What's Friday? To the Ram’s Horn staff it means a final deadline—a mad rush to get out another edition by sixth period. The whole week before has been filled with typing dummy sheets, laying them out, proofread- ing, typing stencils, and mimeographing. Then the pages must be sorted, staples added, and another edition of this bi-weekly newspaper is ready for distribution.

Senior members of the staff put out a special senior edition which contained the Last Will and Testament, Class Gifts, and Class Prophecy. Advertisements from the local merchants, do- nations from the SCA, and subscription money from the elementary students provided the neces- sary funds to publish the Ram’s Horn.

As one of BHS’s largest clubs, it is also one of the busiest. To provide money to send delegates to Model General Assembly, the Tri-Hi-Y con- ducted a stationery drive and sold candy. As part of its devotional program, it placed a book of daily meditations in every homeroom and led the opening devotions in assembly. Among other activities, the club held several night meetings with the Hi-Y and attended a dis- trict meeting in Chester. The Tri-Hi-Y has fully achieved its goal—“to create, maintain, and ex- tend.” 54—Clubs a3 good, Janie Inge, Judy Ulrey, Cathy Draper, Debbie Edwards.

In the fall, the Hi-Y sent delegates to the District Convention in Chester. During Thanksgiving and Christmas, the members brought food and gifts for a needy family. Throughout the year, the club chaplain presented thought-provoking devotions in school assemblies. All year the members worked hard to gain an “Ace” rating and, by doing this, were able to send two delegates to Model General Assembly in the spring. By emphasizing clean speech, clean sportsman- ship, clean scholarship, and clean living, the Hi-Y was successful in raising the standards at BHS.

Members who have achieved the certain number of points receive a letter pre- sented to them in assembly. Also one member is singled out by his fellow members as the most outstanding for that year. This award is also pre- sented in assembly. To add new instruments and uniforms each year, the Band has several money-making projects. Each year they sell candy and collect old newspapers to raise the necessary funds. Going beyond the call of duty, the members in high school faithfully play between cheers at the numerous pep rallies, adding much spirit to the regular gatherings. BHS is rightly proud of its band for it has truly contributed much to the school and community. Beaver, Audrey Oliver. Third Row—Rich Pool, Connie Ward, Martha Lewis, Vickie Harrell. Band Members Work Toward Letters The Blackstone High School Band, which sprang into full bloom last year, again delighted the com- munity as well as the rest of the school this year by participating at every possible opportunity. Not only did it put on half-time shows at home foot- ball games, but also traveled to several away games, adding much to the morale of the team. As a reward for a job well dane last year and incentive to continue at the same pace, the Ladies’ Auxiliary presented the four piece color guard to the Blackstone Band. The four chosen by Miss Mary Frances Townsend, Band director, proudly carried the American Flag, Virginia’s Flag, and the two rifles each time the Band marched. Clyde Crusen- berry, having attended a special camp in the sum- mer, again led the Band as Drum Major. As the elementary members reach high school, BHS should be one of the best bands in the area.

February found the club busily working on a skit to be presented for the parents. This was also based on the value of acting as an individual and showed how to- day’s teens behave when confronted with the choice of being themselves or following the crowd.

Although club work within BHS occupied a large space on the group’s calendar, a number of outside events drew good attendance. Several girls at- tended FHA-FFA camp in Smithfield, Virginia, dur- ing the summer. The fall workshop and subse- quent rally attracted young homemakers through- out the district to Cumberland High School for a day of exchanging ideas.

One of its many goals is trying to improve livestock production. Each boy is supposed to sponsor a beef chain and the cattle in these beef chains are vaccinated against all major diseases. Other FFA members are striv- ing to improve crop production by working out a suitable rotation of planting areas for their own farms. Recommended varieties of seed are being used and fertilizer practices, recommended by ex- periment stations, are being followed closely. Each boy takes a soil sample of his land before seeding his crops. ason, Donnie Mayton, Mel Oliver, Ronnie Pennington, William York, Jimmy McDaniel, Jimmy Mayton, Robert Codispoti. Third Row—Charles Wegner, Robbie Bowman, Mike Hart, Edward Chumney, Larry Williamson, Douglas McBride, Billy Gibson. The FFA also promotes the forestry program in this community. Pine seedlings are planted and each boy underwent a study of the prevention of forest fires. Besides all these material achievements, the FFA provides experience in cooperation. Its basic aim is to teach members organization and working cooperation. Thus, the boys have learned to co- operate with civic clubs, agriculture agencies, the FHA, the SCA, and other school organizations. Still another important goal of the FFA is de- veloping better leadership. Many members study parliamentary procedure while others gain exper- ience judging livestock and crops.

Not only do the members have special projects during the year to stimulate interest in reading, but they also decorate the bulletin board outside the library with various exhibits of book covers and scenes from books. This asset interests students in books as well as adding color to the halls. Members also help Mrs. Sanger, the librarian, during their study halls by working in the Ele- mentary Library. Two of the club’s objectives are to encourage a dignity of behavior in students when reading or studying and to recognize Na- tional Library Week.

The Monogram Club, which consists of those who .have lettered in football, basketball, base- ball, track, or golf, has fought hard to renew the spirit of BHS and to create a vivid interest in ath- letics. These privileged students have conducted numer- ous money-making projects to boost the treasury of the Athletic Association so that it might buy new equipment and uniforms for the Blackstone teams. In the spring of last year, members worked diligently selling tickets and preparing a barbecue supper at the Grange, which proved to be quite successful. On the lighter side, they presented “Shullabaloo” for an assembly and later for the P-TA.

This performing club con- tributes to many school functions and brings en- tertainment to the general public. The achievements of the Glee Club are largely due to the devotion and musical prowess of its director, Miss Mary Frances Townsend. She strives constantly for the artistic presentation of a wide range of music so that the audience and club members themselves can acquire an appreciation of this cultural aspect. Her success is evident in the attitudes of all her members, present and past, and in the prestige which the organization has earned. As the preparation of each year’s chosen work progresses, every member becomes infused with pride in his accomplishments and those of the organization.

These friendships which came during such projects as the Junior- Senior Prom and Banquet, Homecoming floats, individual class money-making projects, have made each student feel that he is a vital, necessary part of our school. Without these projects and other extra-curricular activities, many stu- dents would be mere names and faces instead of distinct personalities. By working together, the students have learned to recog- nize their individual talents and capabilities. In some small way, the activities at BHS have helped each student to be- come a more mature, responsible person. In evaluating activities at Blackstone High School, one can not hesitate to say that without these activities, our school would be only a building. Susan Crawley Chosen Homecoming Queen Le Homecoming, October 15, 1965, will be long remembered by all students of Blackstone High School, for everyone will recall the role he played. Each class dressed up for the occasion. The eighth grade wore their clothes backwards, while the Freshman class theme was “Stop the Statesmen.” They wore signs bearing this slogan, sweatshirts wrong side out, and men’s shirts and ties. Carry- ing suckers and in the guise of children, the soph- omores attempted to relive their younger days. All the juniors wore sweatshirts with a paper ram’s head pinned on and one red sock and one white sock. The beatnik seniors picketed with “Victory” posters. For a special assembly program, the cheerlead- ers portrayed opposing football teams. Before the game, Mrs. Virginia Cobbs, noted sports com- mentator, interviewed coaches Powerful Padgett (Libba Rand) of the Ruthless Reptiles and Calamity Mrs. Cobbs chats with Powerful Padgett before the big game with the Terrible Toads.

The Queen and Court were presented to the public in the annual Homecoming Parade. For the first time, each class entered a float to be judged in competition. The Class of ‘67 received the ten- dollar first prize for their “Ram” which was con- structed of paper and fitted over a Volkswagen. Other floats depicted football fields, the defeated Randolph-Henry team, and a victory rocket. During half time, the Court and spectators wit- nessed the crowning of Queen Susan Crawley by the Co-Captains of the football squad, David Pence and Marvin Paulus.

Ten sopho- more waiters and waitresses served a delicious oriental meal in the school cafeteria which had been transformed into a magnificent banquet hall. Members of the Senior Class revealed their Class Prophecy, Last Will and Testament, and Class Gifts. Following the banquet, the juniors and seniors and their dates moved to the Memorial Center where they danced to the music of the Dynamic Downbeats until one o’clock. The theme, which was derived from the play, “The King and 1,” had been interpreted with a golden Buddha, elephant and trainer, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” boat and mural of a typical Thai scene, garden with flowing foun- tain, and statues of Anna and the King. It was truly a night to remember. Anna and the King occupy the center.

This year all of the athletic teams evaluated their past performances and set high goals for the coming season. With the support of the cheerleaders, who lead the drive for school spirit and fair play, our players have sought to fulfill their hopes for good records. Baseball had better support this year than it has had in recent seasons. Under the supervision of Coach Clayton, ability in pitching, fielding, and batting was develaped. Track and golf, Blackstone’s newest sports, have shown marked improvement over the past season. Although our success in football was limited, the experience gained in hard practice and rough games will serve to better our fu- ture records. Boys basketball players, from the eighth grade through varsity, hustled through the best season in years, with the varsity finishing fourth in the district standings.

After nine hard fought games, the Blackstone Rams ended the 1965 season with a record of two wins and seven losses. Although this did not turn out as well as expected, the team and the coaches never ceased trying to produce a victorious ball club. With determined effort Coach Padgett and Coach Clayton worked especially hard to get the team into the right physical and mental shape for each week’s game. Led on by the Co-captains David Pence and Marvin Paulus, the team displayed fine sportsmanship and dauntless spirit, even when the going became rough. Each year a player is singled out to be the recipient of the Most Valu- able Player award for his outstanding work on the field. This year it was presented to David Pence who also received it last year.

The foursomes teed off at the Nottoway River Country Club every other day to practice for matches with Bluestone, Brunswick, Kenbridge, and Randolph-Henry, playing host to Brunswick and Kenbridge. Danny Hardy led the team with nine and a half points with Lindley Vaughan and Jim Crinkley following closely behind. Losing none of its players, the team will have the experience and the ability to have a winning season in the near future.

Supported by two rookies, the baseball team had a successful but losing season. The pitching stunned quite a few teams in the district. With a bit more hitting, experience, and support, Blackstone will prove to be a contender in next year’s fight for the championship.

Along with aiding in the different school projects, the most impor- tant contribution of the businesses is the financing of our yearbook. If it were not for the cooperation through ad- vertising, the 1966 IVY could not be published. To show Our appreciation of the interest of the businessmen, we dedicate the following pages to advertising. The commerce of our community varies from wearing apparel to building supplies. Since all the merchants offer prompt and dependable service, they are known and re- spected by BHS. For us to praise them more is needless. So we say Thank-you, Businessmen, for your consideration and support in making possible the publication of this yearbook.
